21 December 2007 -- Siemens Power Generation signed a contract with Danish energy company Dong Energy A/S to supply 91 wind turbines to extend the existing Horns Rev offshore wind farm in the North Sea off the Danish coast. With a total capacity of more than 200 MW, this is the largest order Siemens has ever received for offshore wind turbines.

Installation is expected to begin in early 2009, with startup slated for the end of 2009. The 91 SWT-2.3-93 type wind turbines, with a capacity of 2.3 MW each, will be installed offshore at water depths of nine to 17 meters. The contract between Dong Energy and Siemens covers delivery and installation of the turbines, as well as a service and maintenance agreement.

This is the sixth offshore wind farm Siemens will provide to Dong Energy. Siemens recently signed a contract with Dong for 30 3.6-MW turbines for the Gunfleet Sands project off the British coast. This year, Siemens also completed the Burbo Banks offshore wind project with 25 3.6-MW turbines off the coast of Liverpool. Burbo Banks was recognized by Power Engineering magazine as one of its Project of the Year honorable mention winners at POWER-GEN International in New Orleans on December 10.
